Day 1: Encountering God's Holiness

Reading: Exodus 3:1-6

Devotional:

Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush reminds us of God's holiness and our need for reverence. As you read, reflect on how God's holiness impacts your daily life. Are there areas where you've become casual in your approach to God? Remember, just as the ground near the bush was holy because of God's presence, your life is now holy ground because God dwells in you through His Spirit. How might this realization change the way you live today? Take time to set aside distractions and approach God with awe and wonder.

Day 2: Called for a Purpose

Reading: Exodus 3:7-12

Devotional:

God called Moses for a specific purpose - to lead His people out of Egypt. Similarly, God has a unique calling for each of us. As you read, consider how God might be calling you to serve Him. Remember, like Moses, you may feel inadequate, but God promises His presence. What fears or insecurities are holding you back from fully embracing God's call? Take comfort in God's words to Moses: "I will be with you." How can you step out in faith today, trusting in God's presence and power rather than your own abilities?

Day 3: The Unchanging Nature of God

Reading: Exodus 3:13-15, Hebrews 13:8

Devotional:

God reveals Himself to Moses as "I AM WHO I AM," emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. In a world of constant change, God remains the same. How does this truth bring comfort and stability to your life? Reflect on times when God's unchanging character has been an anchor for you. As you face today's challenges, how can you lean more fully on the constancy of God's nature and promises?

Day 4: God's Heart for the Suffering

Reading: Exodus 3:7-9, Psalm 34:17-18

Devotional:

God tells Moses, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people... I have heard them crying out... and I am concerned about their suffering." This reveals God's deep compassion for those who are hurting. As you read, consider how this aspect of God's character impacts your view of Him. How does it affect your approach to your own suffering or the suffering of others? Reflect on ways you can extend God's compassion to those around you who are in pain. How can you be more attentive to the cries of the suffering in your community?
